In the 2000s, just ten percent of Americans believed the government was doing a poor job on economic policy. Today, that's 64%, higher than at any point in our history, beating the oil shocks, wage and price controls, the great inflation, any major recession, financial crisis or pandemic.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

As the cold reality of Cuomo’s defeat sets in, this is a moment for centrists to ask themselves: Have we lost touch with the common voter? Get out and spend time in the tattoo parlors and dispensaries. The drag shows, community gardens and outsider art galleries where Real New Yorkers congregate

These were the obsequious headlines a Republican got for winning a race by less than 2%. Spanberger won by 15 tonight. The coverage should be absolutely apocalyptic for Rs tomorrow, but it largely wont be bc political news media sees Rs as their friends & allies & would never trash them like that
We damn well better get a blizzard of "bad news for Republicans" pieces tomorrow.

This graph never fails to be shocking: "The US has experienced the earliest and greatest slowdown in life expectancy improvements among higher-income countries, reported Eileen Crimmins. “We have horrible life expectancy—and it’s getting worse and worse”"

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

Can we take a few minutes together to dig into the economics of immigration? This video is a little longer, but hopefully trades out a bit of heat for a bit more light.

The problem with the Democratic establishment calling trans rights a distraction is that it isn't one, but I'd also like to add: a distraction from what? Because it doesn't seem like you guys are busy doing anything else. It seems like there's room in your schedule

Trump was Mr tough guy when a few Waymos went up in flames— send in the Marines! Pretty mum when a Democratic lawmaker and her husband are assassinated by one of his groupies. Where are all the op-eds about violence from the right?

President Trump’s economic advisers have used a hodgepodge of messages to justify starting trade wars that are spooking markets.

Trump’s Big Bet: Americans Will Tolerate Economic Downturn to Restore Manufacturing
The president offers many reasons for imposing tariffs, including revenue, leverage over competitors and job creation. But history suggests a more complex history.

Hopefully by now it’s clear that it was never about “the economy, stupid”. It was always about choosing an old white man over an immigrant woman of color because the latter felt threatening. These people don’t GAF about the price of eggs.
